Downtown Art Sunday tethers eight Downtown art spaces for one day, Sunday, Nov. 4.

The Short North has its Gallery Hop, Franklinton has its Franklinton Fridays and, now, Downtown is set to begin promoting its art offerings.
Downtown Art Sunday will make its debut this weekend from noon to 6 p.m., with eight venues showcasing their exhibits and some providing special programming.
